I mean, yes, I know that “fubar” is a clever little acronym with a swear word in it, but if EVERY PROGRAMMER uses it for EVERY SINGLE PROGRAMMING EXAMPLE (which practically everyone does, I swear!), it’s no longer clever, but downright stupid and uncreative. And being uncreative perpetuates stereotypes of programmers being nothing more than automaton droids who tap away at their keyboards all day without a single ounce of emotion. And that just isn’t fair.

On a side note, someone wrote an Italian walkthrough for Cubert Badbone. If you actually care and stuff, it can be found on the downloads page.

No blog posts for the month of April yet? Well, I’ve been very very busy. It’s final exam season again, after all.

Anyway, I thought it would be a nice time to mention that TGTTPOACS got a very nice review in this month’s Independent Adventuring column, which makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. “If you play one game released in March, make it this one.” Good God, that’s the sweetest thing anyone’s ever said to me all year!

Also, since it IS exam time and all, I ended up having a little bit of time to play some adventure games as well. Here’s a nice little list of them:
